Wow, great advice here. Try them all. It may be that you haven´t tried everything or that your decks are not talkative. This can surely happen.
If, however, you still want an extra idea here´s one. Stick with the images and forget the card itself. I looked at your profile and got the 10 of Wands from the Dark Fairytale and the Gilded to exemplify. How can one read them the same way ? You can't ,at last, I know I can't!! Now, pick one and study it asking yourself questions. As if you were investigating a pic taken from a PI. You see a lady. Granted. But how does she feel ? Is she rushing forward or is she taking her time ? Do you sense she is afraid of getting to her destination ? What IS her destination. The castle ? What's in there that interests her so much ? Whose hands are those trying to grab her ? Admirers' or enemies' ? Who planted those wands to show the path to the castle ? Can you tell some time has passed because some are tilted ? Were they tilted by someone ? Did the person before her got to the destination ? What if she keeps going ahead? Is she going to stop at the weird cascade and go back ? What does that represent ? A cold wall ? An obstacle ? Is she going to go through ? Well, you get the picture. When you feel comfortable enough to deal with the card this intimately, ask the lady to turn and look at you. See if she says something. See if she looks happy, sad, mad, etc. Or if she thinks about something that you can "hear". (this part is tricky because it involves more intuition).
If you compare this card with the Gilded rendition, boy, it changes completely. To start with, it's a man. He is quite dressed as opposed to the lady who was more "exposed". His task is being done with a lot of effort and diligence while hers looked like a stroll. He´s moving to the left (past) and not ahead. The wands seem to be of his own making. Etc...
If you're wondering how to put these questions to use, post an arbitrary question and pick a card. We could do this together.
I understand that for some readers, this wouldn't work but, it's worth the try. If anything, you will get really acquainted with your cards. Last but most importantly, try to have fun!
